Family Discovery Day is just a few days away!

Family Discovery Day is just a few days away!

Family Discovery Day at RootsTech will be an amazing day filled with classes, activities, messages, and events that will inspire you to find family names, take them to the temple, and teach others to do the same.

Event Check-in

We are anticipating a very high number of people coming to Family Discovery Day. As such, we would like to encourage you and your group or family to arrive at least an hour before the opening general session, which starts at 1:00 p.m. Check-in for Family Discovery Day opens at 10:00 a.m. and will be located at the RootsTech registration area in the south foyer of the Salt Palace. You will need to show your picture ID upon check-in, after which you will receive wrist bands and bags based on the number of people you signed up online. This number should reflect the total number in your group, including adults, youth, and children.

Family Discovery Day Schedule

Family Discovery Day includes free, fun, and informative classes and activities to help inspire and teach you and your family or group to find family names, take them to the temple, and share your experience with others. Below is an abbreviated schedule of the day’s events, including guest speakers and session themes and topics.

Event Parking

There are two convenient underground parking garages available at the Salt Palace Convention Center. Parking is $12–18 per day.

The parking lot just north of South Temple Street, between 200 West and 300 West, charges $3–$5 per day. Additional parking is available at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for $10 a day and at City Creek Center.
